Descriptors

A pungent sulfur-thiol material with a strong anise/licorice character reminiscent of fennel or star anise crossed with blackcurrant-bud-like sulfury greenness. Extremely powerful and diffusive — at trace levels it reads as sweet anisic-licorice with a savory, almost herbal-green edge, but concentrated it turns harsh and tomcat-like.AI · claude-opus-4-7
